Floatable wave subduing blanket

ABSTRACT

A floatable wave subduing blanket made from cellular low density polyethylene in a rectangular shape having a plurality of cylindrical inflatable floats detachably fastened to the four sides thereof. The cylindrical inflatable floats subdue water waves as the blanket floats on the water for carrying a person.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a floatable wave subduing blanket whichcan be used as a blanket for keeping the body warm or a beach mattressfor carrying a person on the water.

In playing water sports, a beach mattress may be used for carrying aperson on the water. Because a regular beach mattress does not have wavesubduing structure, it can not weather big waves. Furthermore, a beachmattress may be used as a bed for sleeping but can not be used as acovering for keeping the body warm.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention has been accomplished under the aforesaidcircumstances. It is therefore an object of the present invention toprovide a floatable wave subduing blanket which can be used as afloating bed or life preserver to carry a person on the water. It isanother object of the present invention to provide a floatable wavesubduing blanket which can be used as a covering for keeping the bodywarm. It is still another object of the present invention to provide afloatable wave subduing blanket which can weather big waves as floatedon the water. It is still another object of the present invention toprovide a floatable wave subduing blanket which is lightweight, simplein structure, and easy to carry. It is still another object of thepresent invention to provide a floatable wave subduing blanket which isinexpensive to manufacture.

According to the present invention, a floatable wave subduing blanket isgenerally comprised of a rectangular blanket body made from cellular lowdensity polyethylene, and a plurality of cylindrical floats detachablyfastened to said blanket around the four sides thereof. The cylindricalfloats may be respectively made in a hollow, solid structure or aninflatable structure. Plastic bolts are formed on a flat board on eachcylindrical float for detachably connect to the blanket body through arespective plug-in connection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIG. 1, a blanket 1 is made from a cellular low densitypolyethylene in a rectangular shape having a plurality of floats 5detachably connected to the border thereof. Referring to FIG. 2, eachfloat 5 is made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) leather in a cylindricalshape, when inflated, having an air valve 6 on one end thereof and aflat connecting board 3 at one side. The flat connecting board 3 has aline of plastic bolts 4 on the top edge thereof. By inserting theplastic bolts 4 into respective holes 2 on the periphery of the blanket1 from the bottom, a plurality of floats 5 are fastened to the blanket 1for floating it on the water, and therefore the blanket 1 can be used asa beach mattress or a life preserver (see FIGS. 3 and 4). As the floats5 were detached from the blanket 1, the blanket 1 can be rolled up forcarrying easily or used for keeping the body warm. Because the blanket 1is soft, it can be closely attached to the surface of the water and willnot capsize. Furthermore, the floats 5 provide the blanket 1 with anacute angle cutting through the water in subduing water waves so thatthe blanket 1 can be stably floating and moving on the water.

What is claimed is:
 1. A floatable blanket comprising a rectangularblanket body made from cellular low density polyethylene, and aplurality of cylindrical floats detachably fastened to said blanketaround the four sides thereof.
 2. The floatable blanket of claim 1wherein said cylindrical inflatable floats each is made from polyvinylchloride leather in a cylindrical shape having an air valve on one endthereof and a flat connecting board at one side, the flat connectingboard of each cylindrical inflatable float having a plurality of plasticbolts releasably fastened in respective holes on said rectangularblanket body.
